How could he have thought that at this critical moment, the old man who appreciated the painting was actually there, and he took the initiative to testify, which Zhou Qiangren did not expect.

I have given benefits to this old man, but I didn't expect this old man to see Chu Xian, and he directly confessed to himself, which caught Zhou Qiangren off guard.

Now his mind is very confused, originally this painting is his biggest reliance, someone can prove the value of this painting, then Xia Bozhong sent the painting, it can be regarded as a bribe.

But if the value of the painting is not high, then the bribery is naturally nonsense.

Zhou Qiangren didn't expect that the calligraphy and painting master he spent money to find would dismantle his own stage at such a critical time.

Finished!

Zhou Qiangren was trembling at the moment, he just woke up from a dream at this moment, it can be said that he came to sit in public to confirm Xia Bozhong's crime, which was simply whimsical.

He himself was killing himself.

The surrounding people also figured out what was going on at this time, and they were all scolding Zhou Qiangren at the moment, who had a blank mind and just wiped his cold sweat.

As for the cronies behind him, they are also in a hurry.

The current situation, it is quite bad, it was originally to convict Xia Bozhong, but I didn't expect that in the end, the county lord himself was entwined.

Now that he has made such a play in front of Lord Thorn Shi, it's no wonder if nothing happens.

"Zhou Xiancheng, the official has said it, let's go back and talk about this matter, you have to say it now, okay, then what other explanation do you have?" Chu Xian obviously didn't intend to let go of Zhou Qiangren.

This kind of thing that is incapable or incapable, and even calculating people are full of loopholes, I don't know who introduced it, like this kind of person, Chu Xian encounters it, and it is impossible to sit idly by.

Zhou Qiangren stammered under Chu Xian's official posture and couldn't say a complete sentence.

What's more, you made a big mistake, Xia Bozhong's charges were undecided, so you hurriedly reported to the city government, dismissed him from his official position, and replaced him with your cronies, you have been in office for half a year, have you ever done something that is beneficial to the people? It just so happens that everyone is here, how about this new county lord, you can also speak freely, I Chu Xian listened. ”

Chu Xian shouted at this time.

As soon as they heard this, everyone was boiling, and they began to count Zhou Qiangren's crimes one by one, I have to say that this Zhou Qiangren is also a talent, he has only been here for more than a hundred years, and he has accumulated a lot of grievances among the people, and what his subordinates, cronies and concubines do every day is simply overbearing.

Zhou Qiangren is now anxious and angry, but he can't say anything to refute it, because he has done all these things.

"Okay, Zhou Qiangren, this official now has the right to assassinate history, suspend your official position, and then hand it over to the supervision of the imperial history to investigate, if the things listed by the people before are true, then according to the law of the Holy Dynasty, how to judge, how to judge, come to someone, take down his official talisman, and take him down. ”

Chu Xian gave an order, and Zhou Qiangren couldn't do it.

The latter's hands and feet trembled, and he cried, but at this time, who would pay attention to him anymore.

"The other officials in the county, those involved in the case, are also under control, and this matter will be handed over to the imperial history for investigation, and within three days, the official will see the results. ”

Chu Xian handled things vigorously and resolutely, but in a moment, he solved Zhou Qiangren's matter, and then stopped mentioning this matter, Xia Bozhong and Zhou Qiangren's matter, Chu Xian would only interfere with this step, and specifically, it would be handed over to the Zhenxi City Government and the Supervision Imperial History to solve.

He is a assassin, and if he always deals with small things in the county government, he will only make people laugh.

However, Chu Xian believes that those who are clear are turbid, and who is good and who is bad will find out.

This matter is a trivial matter for Chu Xian, but it is of great significance to Xia Bozhong and people related to him, especially Xia Bozhong, he has been wronged, Chu Xian came to Dinghai County, which has already shown the importance of him, which makes Xia Bozhong extremely excited, thinking that Lord Chu Xian still remembers him as a person, Xia Bozhong feels that everything is worth it.

Moreover, Lord Chu Xian only came for a few words, so Zhou Qiangren missed the stuffing, and easily resolved this problem that he couldn't solve at all.

Xia Song and Xia are also happy, as long as Xia Bozhong's grievances can be washed away, then the biggest stone pressing on them can be removed.

Next, Chu Xian walked into the county seat with many people, and then let the people return home, as for the various gifts brought by the people, Chu Xian confiscated them all.

And since he came to Dinghai County, of course Chu Xian wants to revisit this place that he is very familiar with, who would have thought that in just a few years, Chu Xian will return again, and he is already the honor of the history of the assassin and the land of a state.

The most commendable place in Dinghai County is the county defense.

Today's county defense, with the efforts of Jiang Yuan and Xia Bozhong for several years, has already formed a scale, and even if it encounters another demon invasion, it can resist it.

This is what Chu Xian is most pleased about.

There is also the county army, you must know that when Chu Xian was the county leader, the size of the county army in Dinghai County was only allowed to be 200 people, this is an establishment and cannot be surpassed, but if you think about it, you know, 200 people, what is enough?

If it is an inland county, two hundred people are indeed enough, and even more, some rich land, let alone two hundred people, fifty well-trained county troops are enough.

But Dinghai County is not an inland county, this is the border, over the first few mountains, it is the territory of the demon clan, and two hundred people are too few.

At that time, Chu Xian tried every means to secretly get four or five hundred people, and now, the county army quota in Dinghai County has increased to eight hundred.

It can be said that in Dinghai County, the most powerful people may not be the county officials, but the classic history.

Dianshi is in charge of the defense and military power of a county, and he has 800 elite soldiers in his hands, which is a real power.

However, the current long history has also been controlled, and the other party is Zhou Qiangren's cronies, helping Zhou Qiangren to do evil, of course, it is impossible to let the other party stay in this position.

And because Chu Xian is in a different position and identity, he looks at the problem from a different angle.

Others think that the problem of Dinghai County lies with Zhou Qiangren, but in Chu Xian's view, the problem of Dinghai County lies in the higher-level city government.

Zhenxi City Government has an unshirkable responsibility, otherwise, how can a waste like Zhou Qiangren become an official and sit in the position of a county leader?

Chu Xian knew that the news of his coming to Dinghai County must have been known to the Zhenxi City side, and it was estimated that the officials of the Zhenxi City Government were hurrying to this side.

What's more, Chu Xian has already been sent to supervise the imperial history to Zhenxi Mansion to understand the situation, and I believe that there will be results soon.

As Chu Xian expected, he only stayed in Dinghai County for only half a day, and the officials from Zhenxi Mansion came.

The supervision of the imperial history also came back, Chu Xian did not see the officials of the Zhenxi City Mansion, but first met the supervision of the imperial history, before he arrived in Dinghai County, the supervision of the imperial history should have arrived, this half a day, should have found out something, so Chu Xian had to listen to what the supervision of the imperial history had to say.

In the study room temporarily arranged by the county government, the Liangzhou prefecture-level superintendent Yushi was telling Chu Xian.

"There is no problem in Zhenxi City as a whole, the government order is also loyal to his duties, and he has made achievements in the past five years in office, not a mediocre talent, but, Song Guangming, the chief secretary of the city government, is indeed a big problem, this person is a party and a private business, and he actually plans to buy the city-level imperial history in Zhenxi City, but Song Guangming doesn't know, the imperial history is the protégé of the lower official, in fact, as early as a year ago, he secretly reported Song Guangming's affairs, and this year has been collecting all kinds of evidence, but what I didn't expect is that my protégé died suddenly three months ago, and his soul is incomplete, and all the evidence he collected is gone。 Song Guangming is a very shrewd person, but he is also extremely vicious, and his work is also impenetrable, and it is not easy to catch him. The Inspector said at this moment, gritting his teeth.

"Do you think it was Song Guangming who killed people and destroyed evidence?" Chu Xian asked.

The superintendent nodded very affirmatively: "It's a pity that the lower official has no evidence, just speculation." ”

Chu Xian nodded, no place can be said to be invulnerable, there will always be one or two scum.

Obviously, on the side of Zhenxi City, Song Guangming is the biggest official scum.

"And now?" Chu Xian asked.

The supervisor shook his head: "The lower official is still sending someone to investigate him secretly, but unfortunately he has not caught any fatal evidence, this person is indeed cautious, the lower official believes that it is not appropriate to startle the snake for the time being, and wait until there is real evidence to take him down." ”

"So, Song Guangming is also here?" Chu Xian asked, and the supervising imperial history nodded.

Chu Xian took a deep breath.

In his eyes, there is no official who cannot be taken down, no matter how cunning Song Guangming is, there must be flaws, but Chu Xian cannot do everything himself, and it is impossible to ask others to investigate the case according to his own efficiency and ability.

Those who are in a position must know how to use people.

What's more, Chu Xian is currently focusing on the entire state, recasting tax administration, and purging commerce, which is the top priority, and the importance is far above that of Song Guangming.

So Chu Xian really didn't have time to investigate this matter personally, not to mention, he had a history of assassination, and he personally investigated a city lord's book, and it would make people laugh when he said it, and he would also have opinions about himself.

Therefore, the best way to deal with this matter is to hand it over to his subordinates to investigate and deal with.

This is officialdom.

After thinking about it, Chu Xian said: "Zhou Qiangren's matter, I will hand it over to Song Guangming to investigate, he is the secretary of the city government, and he also has the responsibility of supervising his subordinates, let's see, how Song Guangming will investigate, and also, you will be a supervisor, see if Zhou Qiangren will tell some valuable clues." ”

The supervising imperial history immediately understood what Chu Xian meant, nodded hurriedly, and secretly said in his heart This trick is clever, everyone knows that Zhou Qiangren is Song Guangming's person, let Song Guangming investigate, the investigation is light, Song Guangming can't explain, and the investigation is heavy, it will inevitably make Zhou Qiangren die, so if Zhou Qiangren can know some of Song Guangming's deadly handles, it is the best, and he can also take the opportunity to take down Song Guangming, if Zhou Qiangren doesn't know, he can also hit the arrogance of Song Guangming's family.

Chu Xian asked the superintendent to retreat, and then went to meet with a group of officials in the Zhenxi City Government, naturally he wanted to beat them with the matter of Zhou Qiangren in Dinghai County picking up dirt and framing colleagues, and trained them to supervise unfavorably, and even ordered Song Guangming, the head of the city government, to investigate and deal with Zhou Qiangren on the spot.

Song Guangming can't see any mistakes, this person is over sixty years old, but he looks like he is in his forties, scheming, compared to the extremely stupid Zhou Qiangren, this Song Guangming is the real hard bone to gnaw.
